About Mackay Queensland
Whatever brings to you to the Mackay Region, whether work or play, you'll find all the modern facilities, shops, resources and activities you'd expect from a major city, with the relaxed feel of a holiday destination.
While Mackay City boasts over 300 variety stores and four major shopping districts, there is also a wide variety of night spots, bars and international dining opportunities.
The Mackay Region supports the Coal Mining, Sugar Cane, Tourism and other Industries, and boasts the second largest Marina on the East Coast of Australia.
The Mackay Region has 40 beautiful beaches for you to explore, in addition to being only a leisurely cruise from the Great Barrier Reef and outlying Islands, and a short drive to the Eungella National Park rainforest and Finch Hatton Gorge.
Mackay continues to grow and prosper at a very productive rate and offers many employment opportunities and facilities for families.
We look forward to welcoming you to the Mackay Region very soon, and remind you to bring your sunscreen and hat if you're planning on exploring the great outdoors!

Eungella National Park:
Located about 77km West of Mackay. It is well worth visiting the area which is full of romantic bush walks, and fantastic views of the Pioneer Valley. While you're there visit The Challet with its magnificent view of the valley, and enjoy a home made meal on the patio.

Cape Hillsborough:
Located about 25km North of Mackay is a fantastic picnic place with excellent beach walks. To get there, travel 15km North towards Townsville, turn right at the Seaforth turn off, and drive another 13kms, after which you will turn right again and follow the road all the way to the park. This one is a must.
